LiontipsRuud vs Etcheverry Davis Cup Match Prediction and Bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Ruud has already played one match in the Davis Cup qualification. He played against Mariano Navone, whom he beat in two sets 6-3, 6-3. In the match against the Argentine, Casper hit four aces, converted four break points and lost one game on his serve.
Professional qualities
Ruud is a player who has improved his game on fast surfaces over the last couple of years and has established himself in the top 10. Despite his small stature, Ruud compensates for his weak serve by minimizing double faults and being a great rally player. However, he is very dependent on his current form and if he has a few tournaments that go wrong, it is difficult for him to return to his best.
Current indicators in the tour
Ruud is currently the world fifth-ranked tennis player. He has won 15 trophies in his career, 12 of which are ATP titles. Last year, we recall, Casper became the triumphant winner of two clay court tournaments - he won in Barcelona and Geneva.
Interesting facts for betting
Ruud has won seven of his last ten matches.
Current form
Etcheverry beat Nikolay Budkov (7-5, 2-6, 7-6) at the start of the Davis Cup qualification. Thomas served ten aces, converted five break points and lost six games on his serve. The Argentine has four wins in seven matches this season.
Professional qualities
Etcheverry is a classic clay player with good anthropometry, which allows him to serve powerfully. His game on fast surfaces is also effective thanks to his confident defense and ability to pull out difficult balls. In exchanges from the back line, he can compete with any opponent.
Current indicators in the tour
Etcheverry is in the top 50 of the world rankings and is ranked 42nd. The Argentine has won eight trophies in his career. He won his last one three years ago at the clay challenger in Concepcion.

1.72Tip and bets
Ruud leads the head-to-head match against Etcheverry with a score of 3-0. We suggest giving preference to him in the upcoming match. Especially since Casper has noticeably worked on his serve over the past year and has now become even more dangerous, including games on hard courts, which are not his specialty.
Our prediction is Ruud victory with a handicap of (-3) games at odds of 1.85
Bet on total
The last face-to-face meeting between the tennis players was a high-scoring one. Nevertheless, we expect that everything will end rather quickly in the upcoming match. It is unlikely that Ruud and Etcheverry will be able to break the 24-game mark.
The second betting tip is total under 24 games for odds of 1.74
Bet on the first set
Three of Etcheverry last five matches have seen the first set go to more than 9.5 games, and we expect the upcoming encounter against Ruud to start with a similarly high first set.
